Xoff at UppityWisconsin notes a flap over dueling Coexist icons, one of which provokes many and is deemed inflammatory (it is). The piece is worth linking to as it links to a couple of interesting perspectives (I posted the lead-in below).
Republican radio's Charles Sykes has stepped in it big time, calling the hateful work (above-right) 'pure genius.'

Milwaukee's ecumenical Interfaith Council begs to differ. Jim Rowen summarizes thoughtfully on the national Daily Kos blog, and Mike Plaistad weighs in with, "Sykes bravely fights coexistence."
Here's my take at MAL Contends: I find the god concept intellectually lazy; a coping out of grappling with the great and mysterious questions on the nature of human knowledge and the universe.
And I never have been anything but critical of organized religion, a tradition of anti-thought usually based on fear, dogma and bigotry.
But since near the inception of this blog, I have displayed the Coexist icon (above-left) as it connotes a respect for anyone to explore in any manner he or she deems fitting, and a commitment to peace.
As for the inflammatory icon and Sykes' description of it as "pure genius;" silly, but so be it. DRAWING THE LINE by Charlie Sykes
